SCOPE:

Recent advances in the field of wireless sensor networks have moved
them beyond their traditional areas of application in monitoring of
remote and mobile environments. Sensor networks are increasingly being
deployed within and at the surface of the human body to form Body Area
Networks (BodyNets).  BodyNets allow for unidirectional (monitoring)
and even bidirectional (effector) interactions.  They can be utilized
in diverse applications such as physiological monitoring, human
computer interactions, education and entertainment through interactive
games. This conference will explore and explain the scope and
challenges of designing, building, and deploying BodyNets. In this
regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together
research professionals from diverse fields including computer science,
biomedical engineering and medicine in both academia and industry to
address the technical, social, systems and application issues related
to BodyNets.

BodyNets 2008 invites submissions that describe original, research
work not published and are not currently under review elsewhere. The
topics of interest include (but not limited to):

*  BodyNets Systems and Technology
  - Novel communication techniques and protocols
  - In-vivo, on-body, near-body networks
  - Performance modeling
  - System design issues
      + Powering
      + Reliability and fault-tolerance
      + Security and privacy, including HIPAA for medical applications
* HCI/Wearable Computing
  - Social impacts
  - Usability
  - Brain Computer Interactions
  - Wearable system design issues
  - Entertainment
  - Assistive Technologies (for aging and disabled)
* Medical Applications
  - Pervasive health care and patient monitoring
     + within hospitals and other healthcare delivery settings
     + in residential and other non healthcare delivery settings
  - BodyNets for Prosthetics
  - Novel medical applications of BodyNets

The proceedings of the conference will be listed in the ACM Digital Library.

Extended version of technically superior papers will be invited for
IEEE JSAC special issue on Body Area Networks: Technology and Applications
(see: http://impact.asu.edu/BodyAreaNetworksCFP.pdf) and meritorious papers
related to
multimedia issues will be invited for IEEE Multimedia.
